Nice to meet you! NxEW.ca (North by East West) is a group blog covering Canadian music. At this point we have 90 writers covering 27 Canadian cities in 10 provinces and 1 territory. We hope to add many, many more contributors in our ongoing effort to bring together Canada's varied music scenes in one place to share ideas and information, to talk about what's going on locally and what's going on nationally. If you think you might want to contribute read this. Even if you are involved in the 'music business' (musicians, managers, promters etc.,) you are more than welcome. (details here.)
We also have a weekly Mixtape Podcast - if you have music that you'd like to submit for that, get in touch.
We've got shows coming up over the next month in Ontario, Manitoba,Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
Get out to a show if we are stopping in your town. It will most certainly rock! And Twang!
